Bike carb Woes
Hi All
Still have problems with my bike carb install,
I now have evrything installed correctly but when trying to start the engine it turns over and goes to start but will not fire.
I have spark and fuel etc is there anything else that you guys have come across when fitting these that could be causing the problem as its starting
to do my head in.
Cheers
Matt

What engine/ignition system are you using. Possibly an ignition timing problem , firing order or fouled plugs? Modern plugs don't like getting
wet so try a new set. Disconnect fuel pump and with new plugs try a squirt of brake cleaner down the inlets, if engine fires and runs then problem is
fuel , if it doesn't then it is ignition.

are you using the choke for initial starting? as above brake cleaner or easy start to make sure ignition ok first?
